I saw that record and wondered about it - somehow I don't think it is the right one - my VEJ was born in 1887 and I honestly think he remained in Stranorlar ...........   many thanks all the same !

Hi,

I've been looking for Relatives from Stranolar myself from my Grans side over the last few days and searching give me this thread.  Name stuck as I'm a Johnston myself through my Granda. 

Meanwhile I've been looking the PRONI site to get signatures on the covenant of the family for my Gran.  Couple of names up from the one I was looking for I found Victor E Johnston.

Might be some interest to yourself if you haven't already found it.

Are your Johnstons the same as mine ??  Many thanks for the covenant signatures - do you have the date of the document.
Many thanks indeed for getting in touch.

It was the hundred year anniversary at the weekend.  So IIRC 28th September 1912.

As for a link in the Johnston Clan I have no idea yet.  Someone else is doing that side of the family who I'm hoping to get into contact with. Apparently they have a lot of the leg work done. But from looking at the census etc people aren't showing up where I understood they should be. So who knows.
